Movie Matters: 10 Things I Hate About You



I just popped in the shiny 10th Anniversary Blu Ray of 10 Things I Hate About You. This is the hands down the best Julie-Stiles-plays-90s-teenager-version-of-a-Shakespearian-heroine movie ever made. 

Couple of great things about the 10th Anniversary edition.
  1. Heath Ledger gets a lot of love on the back cover for being the Joker, which is fair because he got the Oscar and he died a glamorous death of a young famous mega star on the top
  2. Inflation is a bitch. Two movie tickets cost $15 (with popcorn, $53).Verona does all of his dirt for less than $500.00, the cost of an iPad. 
  3. There are so many songs in this movie that I don't remember at all - from the movie, from the radio, from anywhere. 
Quotes that are still really awesome...

"And I'm back in the game"
"Kisses don't keep me elbow deep in placenta."
"Normal? Like those damn Dawson's River kids?"
"And go hear a band that blows by rule?"
